Description
Discusses performances of a pageant called Mother Rachel and her children written by Helsinki-born Jac Weinstein in 1948 as a work of Holocaust commemoration and the radically different ways in which three audiences in the US, UK, and the Czech Republic that viewed the play in 2016 interacted with it during post-performance discussions.
